Definitions

  • This invention relates to a paneling member for the interior of automotive vehicles, especially a dashboard.
  • the paneling member is provided with a covering that is foam-backed on its rear face with a semihard polyurethane foam.
  • a rigidifying supporting element is embedded within the polyurethane foam body.
  • a dashboard of this type is discussed in the article "Die Karosserie des Porsche 924", page 7, special edition of ATZ [Automobile News], Nos. 2 and 3 of 1977.
  • the dashboard shown in that article has a supporting member molded into a semihard polyurethane foam body, and the foam body is covered on the side facing the passenger compartment with a covering of vacuum-formed ABS sheet.
  • the semihard polyurethane foam is required to be of a relatively hard grade. This is also necessary in order to be able to form the dashboard with pronounced contours which match the contours of the ABS or PVC covering sheet employed (e.g., in the region of the instruments).
  • a drawback to the use of a relatively hard grade of semihard polyurethane foam is that, in the event of unintended contacts with the lower zone of the dashboard (such as might occur upon entering the vehicle or in an accident), grave knee injuries can occur. Furthermore, the configuration described above restricts design possibilities since variations are limited to the use of differing colors and textures of the ABS or PVC covering sheet.
  • the paneling member of at least two portions, each portion comprising a polyurethane foam body and covering.
  • the foam bodies comprising the two portions have different weights per unit volume and different compressive strengths.
  • the coverings for each of the foam bodies are preferably made of different materials.
  • One portion of the member forms the upper region or zone, of the paneling member, while another portion forms the lower zone. The zones extend across the entire width of the member.
  • the covering for the upper portion (zone A) is preferably formed by deep-drawing a sheet-like material, such as ABS or PVC sheet.
  • the covering of the lower portion (zone B) is formed from one of a variety of materials, including: a foam sheet, a synthetic leather-like material, such as vinyl; leather; imitation leather; and a textile fabric.
  • the coverings for the two portions are joined at an upright wall in a recess of the paneling member. The joint is covered by a strip which fits into the recess.
  • the paneling member has a regionally differing design, i.e., different coverings and polyurethane foam components with varying degrees of hardness are used.
  • This design not only meets the requirements imposed by the manufacturing techniques and functional considerations, but also is an improvement with respect to stylistic design possibilities.
  • a relatively soft-grade, semihard polyurethane foam is used in the lower region of the dashboard whereby a dashboard resiliency is obtained which mitigates injuries.
  • the covering for the lower region is made of foamed sheet, synthetic leather-like materials (such as vinyl, leather, imitation leather, textile fabric, or the like.
  • the styling design possibilities are increased by the regionally differing structure of the paneling member since a variety of covering materials, with contrasting coloring in the various zones, can be employed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a frontal view of a dashboard constructed in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows a section along line II--II of FIG. 1.
  • Paneling member 1 as illustrated in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, comprises a dashboard 2 having a molding 4, in the proximity of a steering wheel 3, wherein indicator instruments 5 and an air-distributing vent 6 are arranged. Molding 4 is defined by pronounced contours 7, 8 and 9. Dashboard 2 furthermore includes air-distributing vents 10 and 11 arranged laterally on the outside edges, as well as a glove compartment, not illustrated in detail, which can be closed by a flap 12.
  • Dashboard 2 is composed of at least two zones A and B arranged in upper and lower relation, as shown in FIG. 2. Coverings 13 and 14 in these zones consist of different materials, and polyurethane foam bodies 15 and 16 have differing degrees of hardness (i.e., they differ in weight per unit volume and compressive strength).
  • a relatively soft-grade, semihard polyurethane foam body 16 having a weight per volume of 100 ⁇ 30 kg/m 3 and a compressive strength of 25-35 kPa is utilized.
  • Foam body 16 is provided with covering 14, which is, selectively, a foamed sheet, a synthetic leather-like material (such as vinyl), leather, imitation leather, a textile fabric, or the like.
  • covering 14 is, selectively, a foamed sheet, a synthetic leather-like material (such as vinyl), leather, imitation leather, a textile fabric, or the like.
  • Zone A extends above horizontal plane C--C, whereas zone B extends downwardly away from plane C--C.
  • a supporting element 17 is embedded within the polyurethane foam bodies 15 and 16 (i.e., supporting element 17 is surrounded on all sides by polyurethane foam bodies 15 and 16).
  • Supporting element 17 extends continuously from an upper marginal section 18 to a lower marginal section 19 and has a profiled configuration.
  • supporting element 17 consists of a deep-drawn sheet-metal part.
  • Coverings 13 and 14 of zones A and B are joined at an upright wall 20 of paneling member 1. This joint is concealed by means of a strip 21, shown in dot-dash lines.
  • the two end sections 22 and 23 of coverings 13 and 14 can abut as shown in FIG. 2, or they can be designed to overlap.
  • Strip 21, consisting of a synthetic resin, ornamental wood, or the like, is attached to dashboard 2 by screws or clips.
  • paneling member 1 is provided with a recess 24 which receives strip 21.
  • a transition zone 25 between upper polyurethane foam body 15 and lower polyurethane foam body 16 lies approximately in the region of the plane C--C.
  • the two polyurethane foam bodies 15 and 16 have, in the region of recess 24 of side 27 facing passenger compartment 26, a substantially reduced wall thickness, as compared to the thickness in other regions.
  • foam bodies 15 and 16 exhibit a uniform, relatively thin wall thickness from the upper marginal section 18 to the lower marginal section 19.
